Sabrina Carpenter has been granted a restraining order against a man she claims repeatedly attempted to enter her home.

Among other restrictions, 31-year-old William Applegate is ordered to keep at least 100 yards from the Manchild singer, her sister, and her sister's partner, both of whom live with her.

The five-year order also bans him from attempting to communicate with Carpenter, and possessing firearms, according to the Associated Press (AP).

Applegate, who attended court without legal representation, said during the hearing that he and Carpenter needed to "be together as soon as possible" because they're part of a classified military program watching out for "national and global security", the outlet reported.

Carpenter was not called to testify.

Applegate allegedly attempted to enter Carpenter's Los Angeles home more than a dozen times. He was arrested after striking a security guard and reaching her front door last month, but returned days later. On 29 May, a judge granted a temporary restraining order.

Per the AP, Applegate admitted to being at Carpenter's residence, insisting that the Espresso singer wanted him there, and accusing her team and the authorities of working against him.

He said he was "more than willing" to steer clear of the Grammy winner if she told him to, and reportedly wrote in a counter-petition that Carpenter had attempted to communicate with him by looking directly at him as she sang during her Coachella set in April.

A criminal investigation is underway.
